Our menu features locally influenced seasonal American cuisine crafted by our hands-on executive chef, Angelo Vangelopoulos, and his talented team, with inspiration from our incredible local farmers and purveyors. We are located about a mile west of the University of Virginia, in an historic house originally built in the late 1700s.

We had a great experience at the Ivy Inn! Thank you for makng my 50th birthday so memorable. From the personalized menus, to the special treats , we truly enjoyed evey minute of our dinner! Service was impecable, food delicios and the ambiance perfect. Thank you for the attention to detail and an unforgettable evening!

The flavor combinations of our meals were amazing. The service and atmosphere were also top-notch. This beats all the other restaurants in town for an upscale evening. Portion sizes were great too. I didn't leave feeling cheated (like at some tapas places in town). If you're going to spend the money, you can't beat it.

Absolute perfection. Doesn’t get any better than this anywhere. Food (amazing), service (professional and attentive), and atmosphere (relaxing and you can even have a normal conversation). The best in Charlottesville and one of the finest anywhere.

Truly amazing!! The Ivy Inn is a Charlottesville gem. We choose this restaurant for all of our special occasions! Always delicious. Always welcoming. Never disappointed. Worth every penny and then some. We recommend shrimp and grits appetizer, anything with oysters- salmon, beef tenderloin, anything pasta!, and most definitely the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Bon appetit!

Food (salmon, steak, vegetables) was excellent across the board. Unfortunately service was very slow and then they seemed anxious to rush us out as we were finishing. I assume they needed the table for another reservation and the slow service created a problem.We had an excellent dinner with similarly excellent service a week before so hope this was an off night for an otherwise excellent establishment. Will not hesitate to return.

This was our first visit to the Ivy Inn and after our celebration dinner it will definitely not be our last even though we do not live in Charlottesville. Farrell graciously accommodated our very late request to add two additional guests to our original party of four. We were greeted promptly and quickly made to feel special. The service was excellent as our server Simon took very good care of our party. The presentation of the food, the preparation of the dinners was all excellent! They even recognized the special events of two guests in our party. If you want a special evening of dining in a historic restaurant with all of the ambiance, then the Ivy Inn is your place.

We took our parents here for their 50th wedding anniversary. Ivy Inn printed special menus for our table of 10! which are wonderful keepsakes for our families.The service is excellent. The food is excellent. The ambiance is quieter, in a respect for your fellow diners manner.Could not have asked for more!

** will note: When making a reservation for a group that needs ADA considerations, you MUST call the restaurant. They will do what they can to seat you on the first floor. There is no handicap parking - I walked with my parents up the brick sidewalk, while my husband parked the car. This is not a deal breaker--as theparking lot is reasonably sized, just without handicap parking spaces.
